My life yet so far:
I am a 16 year old asian female. I used to be a really confident, happy, and smart kid with hard-working parents living in a quiet suburbia. And then I moved to the shallow, cutthroat northern suburbs in the midst of my preteen years. At my new school, I got into a Mean-Girls-esque situation with the Asian queen bee. Stir in my strict, foreign parents and I had a recipe for clinical depression. By high school, I recovered and became my old happy self again. However, just last year my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and my world was flip flopped again. I had to take on the role of my mother in my family and deal with my father's new volatile nature. I sacrificed a lot that year in physical and emotional terms and I still haven't bounced back.
Basically, I need some help and advice. My life has become so overbearing and I don't want to be sad anymore. What can I do? How can I regain my confidence and get rid of my insecurities?
